Chapter 924: An Unexpected Discovery

Empress Dowager Li's words were asked to Zhang Fan, and the reproach in the words was also undisguised, that is, blaming Zhang Fan for why he said this matter, but now these ministers already have an opinion in their hearts, thinking that Zhang Fan would say this just now, it must have been instructed by Empress Dowager Li, otherwise such a big thing would implicate a prince, Zhang Fan should not have the courage to say this kind of thing, so now, even in Empress Dowager Li's words to Zhang Fan, there is a lot of reproach, But no one felt that Empress Dowager Li really wanted to blame Zhang Fan, and these words were just said to be pretentious.

"Queen Mother, there is nothing Weichen can do," Zhang Fan stood up, made a very aggrieved appearance, and said involuntarily, "Should this kind of thing be said, Weichen naturally has a number in his heart, but Fang Cai, I don't know which adult got the news from, and told the matter of implicating a prince, Wechen saw that this matter was really unbearable, this is what he said,"

"The news has leaked," Empress Dowager Li didn't wait for Zhang Fan to finish speaking, and her eyebrows furrowed, "This matter, only the mourning family, Aiqing, and the bachelors of the cabinet and the six books know, there are only a few people in the Cining Palace that day, the mourning family believes that you will not talk about the matter, oh yes, there is Feng Bao here, but the mourning family also believes that Feng Bao will not talk nonsense everywhere, since no one has said anything, how can this matter be spread," Empress Dowager Li's words came to the back, and her tone became colder and colder.

Although she didn't say it yet, but the people below had already understood the meaning of her words, since the few people who knew about this matter didn't say it, it means that it is not only these few people who know about this matter, but also others, as for who this person refers to, then I don't know, guess for yourself.

But here, Empress Dowager Li's words seem to be implying something, the most likely thing is that the so-called ministers in the palace have those eyeliners, of course, the so-called eyeliner, in the final analysis, is just a money transaction, give some money to the palace maids and eunuchs, let them help inquire about the news in the palace, once there is something important, these ministers can know at the first time, so that they can be prepared.

It's just that what happened in Cining Palace yesterday, other people don't know, but Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Fan, as well as those scholars and scholars, are clear and clear, yesterday's conversation in Cining Palace is absolutely impossible to be listened to by anyone except these people, the two little eunuchs who cleaned the room at the beginning, and then they were ordered by Feng Bao to stay far away, in fact, at that time, there was no one outside the main hall of Cining Palace, even the guards were guarding from afar, I couldn't hear what was said above the hall at all, as for those palace maids and eunuchs, the anger of Empress Dowager Li at that time had almost scared them, where did they dare to approach.

But this situation, these ministers don't know, now after Empress Dowager Li said this, these ministers feel that it must be someone among them who bought the eyeliner in the palace, and got the news, and then someone just took advantage of the chaos to say it, but they don't know who it is at all, even if it was the first person to say this matter just now, it was because the scene was chaotic at that time, and no one noticed who said it at all.

But these don't matter now, what the ministers are concerned about is what the Empress Dowager Li is trying to say this, it is obvious that the Empress Dowager Li already knows that they have such a thing as bribing eyeliner to find out the news for them in the palace, and the words of the Empress Dowager Li just now should be a warning to them, she already knows this kind of thing, don't go too far in the future.

Suddenly, these ministers feel that they are really stupid, no, not only them, including the ministers who did this in the past two hundred years, and even the ministers of all dynasties and dynasties, are all fools who deceive themselves, this kind of thing, as the person who leads the country, the person who leads the entire palace, how can he not know it, you know, what they can get is just those yellow and white things, but what the Empress Dowager Li can give them is a lifetime of glory and wealth, or a mass grave that does not even have a tombstone, compared to it, I believe that even a fool can understand which is more important.

In other words, these people took the initiative to put themselves in the hands of others who could put themselves to death, and in the future, if the Empress Dowager Li wants to rectify any of them, she only needs to pull out the eyeliner, and then testify against it, and when that time comes, if you want to flatten and pinch the circle, or kill the head, it is all based on the Empress Dowager Li's thoughts.

Thinking of this, more than ninety percent of the ministers present were all cold in their hearts, as if an invisible knife had been put on their necks.

"However......" Seeing that their goal had been achieved, these ministers all showed a look of palpitation, and the Empress Dowager Li also planned to stop there, don't frighten them, there are other things to do today, "Since everything has been said, it is useless to investigate who it is, let's talk about the right thing."

"Yes, what Zhang Aiqing said is naturally true, the emperor was assassinated the night before yesterday, although this matter has not been found out yet, but it is indeed implicated in a prince of the current dynasty, and it is also a vassal king,"

Although Empress Dowager Li's words are equivalent to completely confirming the news, but everyone has heard it just now, and it is not as formal as this time, but Zhang Fan's words, they still believe it, so although Empress Dowager Li's words confirm the news, these ministers do not seem too shocked, or they are no longer shocked.

"How about it, are you Aiqing satisfied," Empress Dowager Li looked at the ministers who were thinking about it below, and said, "Now that you Aiqing already know about this matter, there is no need to hide it, since this is the case, the mourning family will simply tell you, so as not to guess when you get it, don't say it, and delay the state affairs of the imperial court, then it will be troublesome."

"Now, the mourning family has already told you Aiqing, I don't know if you Aiqing, but there are any other questions to ask,"

Weichen had a question and wanted to ask the Queen Mother bravely, "It's still Ge Shouli who is here to take the lead."

"Ge Aiqing doesn't need to be like this, it's okay to ask if you have something to say," and Empress Dowager Li is also very clear about Ge Shouli, so he will not make things difficult with him at will, even if Empress Dowager Li knows that Ge Shouli is going to ask her something, it will definitely make her difficult to answer, but Empress Dowager Li still will not speak ill of Ge Shouli, and she has always been kind and good.

This is Ge Shouli's advantage, and in fact, Ge Shouli himself naturally understands this, Ge Shouli, who has never done anything out of line or made himself ashamed in his life, is now using his advantage to ask for some benefits, of course, even so, his so-called favors do not mean that he wants to ask for any benefits for himself, but just wants to know some things.

This was just a very common thing, almost everyone didn't care about this, and almost no one thought about what Ge Shouli was thinking at the moment, they all focused on Empress Dowager Li, waiting for her to answer Ge Shouli's words.

But I also said that it was almost, that is to say, there were still people who noticed the strange situation of Ge Shouli doing this, but there were really not many, in fact, there were only two people, one was Zhang Fan, and the other was Zhang Juzheng, who were the two masters and apprentices.

Zhang Fan is really not a long time with Ge Shouli, after all, Zhang Fan's career is not long, but it is not a short time, Zhang Fan and Ge Shouli are relatively close, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Fan also has a certain understanding of Ge Shouli.

As for Zhang Juzheng, he can't say that he is close to Ge Shouli, but he also knows him, and the most important thing is that now that he knows what Empress Dowager Li will say, he doesn't care about this matter very much, so he pays attention to Ge Shouli.

To be honest, Ge Shouli would do this, using his old qualifications and the merits he had accumulated in the past to ask Empress Dowager Li some words, and let her not answer, this kind of thing seemed impossible to happen in the past, Ge Shouli is definitely not a person who would do such a thing.

But today, Ge Shouli did this, which made the two people who noticed this very surprised in their hearts, but after being surprised, they were thinking deeply, and after thinking deeply, they were even more surprised.

Above, although Empress Dowager Li spoke, it was still a high-sounding perfunctory Ge Shouli, and below, Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng, the master and apprentice, were still thinking about Ge Shouli's question.

Why in the end, Ge Shouli would do this, do this kind of thing of relying on the old and selling the old, looked at Ge Shouli, he was a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and this age is the oldest among these ministers present now, and it is not easy to stand here at the age of more than seventy.

Suddenly, both of them thought of a possibility, and figured out why Ge Shouli did this.

Immediately, Zhang Juzheng's face showed a smile, which was difficult to detect.

Zhang Fan, on the other hand, raised his head in surprise and looked at Ge Shouli.

Ge Shouli at this age, now doing this kind of thing that goes against his previous style of acting, can only mean one thing,
